Acai Berry-Scam, or new weight loss miracle?

I know you have come across some ad on the internet, or TV, or Print, or any other ad platform for this new Acai Blast weight loss “miracle”. You may even have considered trying it out to see if it works. I decided to give it a shot for myself. Acai is offering a free trial (just pay for shipping, which is like 5 bucks) so I thought now is the perfect to try it, and share my results.

I have a bachelors degree in Fitness, Nutrition and Health, and am currently working on my Master’s degree in Exercise Physiology and Nutritional Sciences, so I am VERY skeptic when something comes out on the marketing and pushes all these claims.

Before I gave this a shot, I took a step back and looked at the product from a technical point of view. The Acai berry is a great super food full of nutrients and antioxidates. But how exactly will that help me lose weight?

Acai by itself is a super food, but it is mixed with Resveratrol extract, which is an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and helps repairs damaged cells. It also contains green tea extract, which is another great way to boost metabolism.

So what are my results?

Being a fit guy, it is hard for me to lose weight with diet products. I used this product to supplement my already in place diet and exercise routine and would you know, I actually lost 4 pounds. I know that isn’t huge, but I thought I didn’t have 4 lbs to lose.

I am very impressed with this product. It is simple, and straight foreward. Use it with your regular diet and exercise program and it can be very effective.

The best part is that if you are a skeptic like me, you can get a free trial. All you do is spend $5 for shipping (which is worth it). Give it a shot for yourself then leave a comment and let me know what you think. I love it so much I actually bought about shipment of it!

CRUNCHES: Don’t Count-Just “Burn” Them!

Abdominal exercises are your arsenal at sculpting and toning your tummy. I am strict when it comes to these, almost always exercising my abs until exhaustion. My militant mantra is “If you are not burning, you are not earning”, meaning you have to work for your washboard and a good indicator is that post work out soreness that sets in on the abs after my workouts.

Here I have highlighted my 3 top favorite abs exercises guaranteed to give you a run for your money!

A. BALL BUSTERS: Lay your back on a yoga ball with your knees bent 90 degrees and your workout buddy holding your feel down. Lean all the way back holding a small 5 pound weight behind your neck crunching up and actually curling your torso inwards towards your belly button and at the same time turning your pelvic muscles up.

B. THE PENDULUM: Lay on the floor while holding your work out partner’s ankles. Bring your legs up and have your partner push them down to the floor and then snap your legs back up-the key is to use resistance when your legs are being pushed down.

C. HANGING KNEE RAISES: When I first put myself into these arm straps, I thought that it was some kind torture device! But know I only have my abs thanking me! Hang in 2 arm slings with elbows bent and locked, and gently raise your knees into your chest.

One of the most asked questions I get as a fitness professional goes something like this:
“So, I have been walking to get into shape, but I want something more. What do you suggest?”

Even hard core athletes ask questions along these lines: “I need something to put me over the top and give me an advantage against my competitors. What tools do you have?

ADD MORE WEIGHT!

I am a big fan of adding weight in the form of a weighted vest. MiR has some great vests ranging in all types of weights. The best thing is, they are not big and bulky like other vests. They are shorter, and less bulkier, meaning you can walking in it, work out in it, and increase your weight which increase work which increases results!

MiR 20Lbs Short Adjustable Weighted Vest is one of the best vests on the market. The 20lbs vest adds just enough weight to where the work outs are more challenging. The best part about the MiR series of vests in that they are adustable: If you work out of the 20 lbs and increase so much that 20lbs isn’t doing much for you, you can go right into the next weight. They have weights all the up to 150 lbs.If you are an athlete needing to boost your speed and leg power, try running some sprints with vest on, or doing standing squats. You feel the little weight change.
Although the vest are becoming less bulky, it still feel sometimes like you are wearing a bullet proof vest. If you are new to vests, it may take some time gettiing use to. But that awkward feeling goes away and you barely feel the vest. You feel the weight, not the vest. If you can get over the little bit of odd look wearing the vest, I recommend these to anyone, whether you are an athlete or trying to lose a few more pounds. They are an easy way to gain a little more power and lose a little more weight.

Abs

Every single person in the world dreams of having great looking abs. Even those who already have a great set, wish they were better. Little do people know that good looking abs are not only appealing, but reveal a healthy life as well. A good set of abs shows a lot about a person’s health and fitness. Think you can’t get abs like a model? Well now you can! There is a program that just came on the market that I think everyone should read. The Truth About Abs is a book by Mike Geary that is taking the market by storm.

Below is an article contributed by Mike Geary, the founder of TruthAboutAbs.com. I thought this was an important topic to share with you because the reality is that most people simply don’t realize how dangerous their excess abdominal fat really is to their health.

The Hidden Dangers of Your Excess Abdominal Fat – It’s More Serious Than a Vanity Issue!

by Mike Geary, Certified Nutrition Specialist, Certified Personal Trainer

Did you know that the vast majority of people in this day and age have excess abdominal fat? The first thing that most people think of is that their extra abdominal fat is simply ugly, is covering up their abs from being visible, and makes them self conscious about showing off their body.

However, what most people don’t realize is that excess abdominal fat in particular, is not only ugly, but is also a dangerous risk factor to your health. Scientific research has clearly demonstrated that although it is unhealthy in general to have excess body fat throughout your body, it is also particularly dangerous to have excess abdominal fat.

There are two types of fat that you have in your abdominal area. The first type that covers up your abs from being visible is called subcutaneous fat and lies directly beneath the skin and on top of the abdominal muscles.

The second type of fat that you have in your abdominal area is called visceral fat, and that lies deeper in the abdomen beneath your muscle and surrounding your organs. Visceral fat also plays a role in giving certain men that “beer belly” appearance where their abdomen protrudes excessively but at the same time, also feels sort of hard if you push on it.

Both subcutaneous fat and visceral fat in the abdominal area are serious health risk factors, but science has shown that having excessive visceral fat is even more dangerous than subcutaneous fat. Both of them greatly increase the risk your risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, sleep apnea, various forms of cancer, and other degenerative diseases.

Part of the reason visceral fat is particularly dangerous is that it apparently releases more inflammatory molecules into your body on a consistent basis.

If you care about the quality of your life and your loved ones, reducing your abdominal fat should be one of your TOP priorities! There’s just no way around it. Besides, a side-effect of finally getting rid of all of that excessive ugly abdominal fat is that your stomach will flatten out, and if you lose enough stomach fat, you will be able to visibly see those sexy six pack abs that everyone wants.

So what gets rid of extra abdominal fat? Is there actually a REAL solution beyond all of the gimmicks and hype that you see in ads and on commercials for “miracle” fat loss products?

The first thing you must understand is that there is absolutely NO quick fix solution. There are no pills or supplements of any sort that will help you lose your abdominal fat faster. Also, none of the gimmicky ab rockers, rollers, or ab belts will help get rid of abdominal fat either. You can’t spot reduce your stomach fat by using any of these worthless contraptions. It simply doesn’t work that way.

The ONLY solution to consistently lose your abdominal fat and keep it off for good is to combine a sound nutritious diet full of unprocessed natural foods with a properly designed strategic exercise program that stimulates the necessary hormonal and metabolic response within your body. Both your food intake as well as your training program are important if you are to get this right.

I’ve actually even seen a particular study that divided thousands of participants into a diet-only group and an exercise/diet group. While both groups in this study made good progress, the diet-only group lost significantly LESS abdominal fat than the diet & exercise combined group.

Now the important thing to realize is that just any old exercise program will not necessarily do the trick. The majority of people that attempt getting into a good exercise routine are NOT working out effectively enough to really stimulate the loss of stubborn abdominal fat. I see this everyday at the gym.

Most people will do your typical boring ineffective cardio routines, throw in a little outdated body-part style weight training, and pump away with some crunches and side bends, and think that they are doing something useful for reducing their abdominal fat. Then they become frustrated after weeks or months of no results and wonder where they went wrong.

Well, the good news is that I’ve spent over a decade researching this topic, analyzing the science, and applying it “in the trenches” with myself as well as thousands of my clients from all over the world to see what works to really stimulate abdominal fat loss.

The entire solution… all of the nutritional strategies, as well as training sequences, exercise combinations, and more have all been compiled in my Truth About Six Pack Abs Program.
Keep in mind that the point of this whole program is NOT abdominal exercises (that is only a very small portion of it). The main point of this program is showing you the absolute most effective strategies for losing your stubborn abdominal fat, so you can get rid of that dangerous health risk, as well as get a flatter more defined midsection.

If you follow the guidelines, you WILL lose your belly fat that has been plaguing you for years. This is not guesswork… it is a proven system that works time and time again for all of my clients on every corner of the globe that actually apply the information I teach. If you apply it, the results will come. It’s really that simple.

The only reason most people fail in their fitness goals is that they have good intentions at first to adopt a new lifestyle, yet after a few weeks or months, they abandon their good intentions and slip right back into their old bad habits that gave them the excess body fat in the first place.

I want to help you succeed in finally getting rid of that extra abdominal fat that is not only UGLY, but also DANGEROUS.

Don’t waste another day allowing that nasty abdominal fat to kill your confidence as well as contribute to your risk for MAJOR diseases.
